The Better World Awards 2025 Prize: A solo retreat with Aggressor Adventures in Chiang Mai’s Signature Lodge


Geographical Magazine is proud to present the Better World Awards, honouring remarkable efforts that foster positive environmental and social impact. We’re excited to unveil the exclusive reward awaiting this year’s winner:

A 7-night stay for one at the Aggressor Signature Lodge in Chiang Mai, Thailand

About the Lodge Experience

  • Situated on a spacious five-acre property, the lodge includes a main reception, a beautifully appointed dining tent, an entertainment area with a 54-inch TV, an inviting bar, and a glistening swimming pool nestled among lush grounds.
  • The lodge features eight luxurious Hill Tribe Chalets – each about 34′ × 31′ – with your choice of a king bed or two twins, two private bathrooms (bathtub/shower), private closets, and spa beds on the balcony. The chalets’ semi-outdoor design and handmade Thai furniture create a tranquil, cultural setting and are furnished with an LCD TV, fan, and hairdryer. Guests also enjoy excellent hot- and cold-water pressure throughout their stay.

There’s still time to enter the Better World Video Awards 2025:

  • Beverages, including both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options, are complimentary throughout the stay.
  • The lodge prepares a varied Thai menu featuring both regional and international favourites, with options like pad see ew, khao soi, massaman curry, and seasonal desserts. Guests can communicate dietary preferences ahead of time for personalised service.

A Personalised Cultural Journey

  • Designed to blend seamlessly into the landscape, the lodge invites up to 16 guests to immerse themselves in northern Thailand’s rich culture and serene environment.
  • Optional guided excursions (available via the lodge’s itineraries) take guests to extraordinary destinations: Long Neck (Karen) village, elephant sanctuary, hot springs, Doi Inthanon (Thailand’s highest peak), artist markets, Thai cooking classes, Hmong villages, and the iconic Doi Suthep temple overlooking Chiang Mai and more!

Why This Prize Matters

This exclusive and entirely immersive retreat perfectly reflects the spirit of the Better World Awards – celebrating innovation, sustainability, and a deeper connection to the planet. Awarding one individual with this journey acknowledges the importance of personal experience in fostering global stewardship.
